The Gold Award Celebrates High-Volume Production at BHGRE Green Team

In real estate, consistency is everything. Anyone can have one good month. But closing between $6 million and $7.99 million in a single year? That takes a whole different level of skill, focus, and commitment.

The Gold Award at BHGRE Green Team recognizes agents who hit that mark. It is a signal to buyers, sellers, and fellow agents that this person knows what they are doing and has the results to back it up across our markets in Orange County NY, Rockland County NY, Sussex County NJ, and Passaic County NJ.

This year, two agents took home the Gold.

2025 Gold Award Winners — $6 Million to $7.99 Million

Patrick Taylor

Patrick Taylor has called Upper Greenwood Lake home since 1988, where he and his wife raised their two children and put down roots in the lake community he loves. Before real estate, he spent decades in the supermarket industry working his way up to store manager. That background in management and customer service shaped the philosophy he brings to every deal: client first, always.

Licensed in both New Jersey and New York, Patrick serves buyers and sellers across Morris, Passaic, Bergen, and Sussex counties in NJ and Orange and Rockland counties in NY. He is also a proud affiliate of Veterans United. Patrick brings integrity, strong negotiation skills, and a friendly no-pressure style that makes even complex transactions feel manageable.

Carol Buchanan

Carol Buchanan learned real estate from the ground up, literally. She started on the administrative side of a large new-construction home site, involved in every stage of the building and selling process. That foundation shaped everything about how she works today.

Carol is an Associate Broker with designations including GRI, CRS, ABR, and SFR, and a recipient of the Hudson Valley Five Star Professionals Award, given to only 5% of Realtors based on integrity and superior client service. As she puts it: “It’s the true interest in your client and the love of real estate that makes you work hard to overcome the obstacles that arise.”

A longtime Warwick resident, Carol serves on the Board of Directors for the Lions Club of Warwick and drives for Meals on Wheels. That same commitment to people is what her clients experience in every transaction.

What Closing $6 to $8 Million Really Means

This level of production means you are moving multiple properties a year at significant price points. It means your clients are not just satisfied, they are referring you to people they trust. It means you have the skill to handle the details, the negotiation, and the pressure that comes with high-stakes real estate transactions.

In markets like Orange County NY, Rockland County NY, Sussex County NJ, and Passaic County NJ, reaching Gold level means you understand local pricing, buyer demand, and what it takes to stand out in a competitive listing environment. Patrick and Carol have proven they can do exactly that.
